The Dope and Tape Show, Episode 95, features Beckie and Mitch Bortner from North American Fire Protection (NAFPCO). The hosts, Brian and Bobby, discuss NAFPCO's rapid growth, unique business model, and employee-centric practices. NAFPCO focuses on designing and installing sprinkler systems for cold storage and food processing plants. They operate remotely, with employees traveling to various job sites and utilizing a "bucket system" for tool management. NAFPCO prioritizes employee satisfaction and retention by offering competitive pay, comprehensive benefits (including health, vision, dental, life insurance, and a safe harbor 401k with employer contributions), and additional perks like boot allowances and referral bonuses. Mitch shares his journey into the fire protection industry, starting as an estimator and transitioning to sales and business development roles before founding NAFCO with
Beckie. Beckie's background in business and marketing, coupled with her experience in managing international teams, complements Mitch's technical expertise. They emphasize the importance of networking and building relationships within the industry. The conversation also touches upon various technical aspects of fire protection, including the use of nitrogen in pre-action systems, the challenges of working on remote job sites, and the adoption of new technologies like Trimble for hanger installation. The hosts express admiration for NAFPCO's commitment to employee well-being and their impressive growth in just two years!!!
